I make games, mostly single handedly. Here on bluseky I post gardening pics and random rambles.

This shows the new distribution overall a bit better. Still pockets of tribes inland, but most are now along rivers or coastlines. It's both more realistic, and provides much more interesting and scenic starting locations. The rivers provide fast transport between villages for trade/conflict too.

It was really tricky to find rivers to place the tribe locations, given how the rivers are generated. I managed to get quite close algorithmically, but I can't reverse the perlin noise based offsets, so it takes a few iterations heading downhill too.

Just came across my very first planning when I started making The Blockheads. "LITTLE DUDE CAN BUILD OR CRAFT AT THE COMMUNITY CHEST"

Waraki is what I have named my little tui mp3 player. It still doesn't play mp3s (the playlist names are still placeholders even), but it has a lovely color cycling animation and a pretty damn fine scroll view implementation if I do say so myself

Just completed the 2nd paper iteration of the mp3 player UI. I always design UI on paper, this little pad is perfect for phone apps.

The scroll view works! The visual style is starting to come together too, using the Blockheads font for now. Just a little more client UI work to go before I move to the server/networking, and binary serialization in tui.

The engine is working on iOS now too! This is the breakout clone stretched out on an iPhone. So now I can build all my apps across pc/mac/ios really easily with the same codebase, and it's super slick, built with SDL3, Vulkan, C++ and tui.

Tui breakout works! That was a great first test for tui, it helped me fix a lot of bugs, and I always find it easier to work on painful low level stuff if I have a fun high level goal I'm working towards.
